Am working with json api that represents dates like this
"date" : "/Date(1356081900000)/"
I want to turn this into regular javascript Date.
The only way I can think of solving this problem is to do a replace on everything leaving the timestamp which I can then "convert".
This works but it just looks wrong.
My question. Can I do this in better way?
UPDATE
unix_timestamp = jsonDate.replace('/Date(', '').replace(')/', '');
newDate = new Date(+unix_timestamp + 1000*3600);

Accepted solution was:
var date = new Date(parseInt(jsonDate.substr(6)));
